Included in the over 20 applications that ship with the Mac Version of Media Composer 3 are: Avid MediaLog for logging video information and metadata Avid LogExchange, which handles information for film-to-videotape transfers Avid FilmScribe, to handle change and cut lists required when finishing to a celluloid master Avid EDL Master, used to transfer or translate edit data into varying industry types and formats and Avid MetaSync Manager, a new tool designed for interactive object programming and metadata content creation on a Mac. Many of the third-party apps included are the best of their kind in the marketplace, while often some are Windows only. At times, it can be the additional tools included that can make or break an application suite.
AVID ADVANCED VIDEO CODEC PRO
The world of pro video, like any other specialty, requires a vast array of tools. Avid’s attention to the needs of professionals is exemplified by the new Sequence and Clip Summary, as output of individual clip and track specifics, timecode, color corrections and EFX information can now be saved as a simple text file.
Called open captioning because the content always remains visible to the viewer, it allows specifically for Avid DS and EBU N-19 standard caption file formats, greatly simplifying the process of creating and viewing alternative languages, translations, or graphics on screen. The SubCap Generator, a new AVX plug-in in this version, allows for the dynamic compositing of text and the coordinated graphics onscreen. Media Composer 3 brings the power of native MXF editing, plus Avid’s robust color correction tools, up to date. Yet this makes it an incredibly effective tool for visually watermarking your client preview and offline versions. The last is not quite as helpful as it sounds for day-to-day use, as the timecode data remains on screen for the entire duration of the playback of your clip or track, and is not editable.

The Timecode Generator plug-in allows up to three simultaneous fields of on-screen data that can include timecode, edgecode, source name, and sequence name, and even an onscreen notation field. Avid has responded to the need for simultaneous viewing, monitoring, and output of multiple timecode tracks. In this case, it is Avid’s superior timecode support and on-screen display with the new AVX version of the Timecode Generator plug-in. Geared to the needs of editing pros, Media Composer always reminds me of the elements missing inįinal Cut Pro ( ). Included are enhanced controls for content dragged or dropped into a timeline, enhanced keyframing controls in the effects editor, and the ability to copy, paste, and even remove redundant keyframes from content already in your timeline. This release doesn’t just offer native access to the majority of camera formats there are also a number of adjustments that users will welcome.
